Live from the stand!

The snow is just about hitting us in NW Ohio at the 75 line. It's coming to a stand near you.

Wish we had snow.

Helluva day Brock! Congrats to you and the young fellas.

Just about killed a main frame 6x6 in tennis shoes, shorts and my OSU shirt (under my orange vest of course). Watching the game here at the house and my buddy got up to smoke. I checked the feeder and saw a buck. Thought it was the big bodied 6 point I have been seeing. Went and grabbed my binos and realize, no, that's a damn shooter! Never seen him before. Within in seconds, I was down stairs, vest on, bow in hand and arrow nocked. I know the blind is at 30 yards, so I went out the basement door, circled around and got the blind between him and I, then closed the gap. Took about 90 seconds to go from the back door with binos, to bow range. I drew, stepped out around a split maple I was using for my final cover and was just settling the pin when he looked up. I'm guessing the 6'1" 215 pound pumpkin riding a chicken was too much to tolerate cause his got out of dodge with a quickness! Only 5 more seconds and I was done for the year!

Dude was a solid 4 year old, 140ish deer. Biggest buck I've seen in the 6+ years we have lived here.

Keep feeding! Next week you can shoot him from the porch!

My 9 year old just shot his first deer, what I think is a six point. He walked in a circle and laid down, this is as far as he went.

Had a spike come in at 3:40, nothing the rest of the evening. Raining good in Guernsey now. Hoping tomorrow morning yields some movement.

Very cool hunts by many today. Congrats Cshowalter Jr!

Well we had a small 8 and a doe come at last light. Buck was just too small for him to pull the trigger. They stuck around until 29 minutes after legal shooting light. We had to spook them away before we could climb out. Glad he had an opportunity to at least watch some.

We saw 9 tonight. Got a phone call and loaded up the dog to help a buddy. A 5
Min trail with gunner at the lead and there he layed. Awesome deer

Well found out today that there was a 14 Pt buck poached off the back of the woods dad and I hunt. We're the only ones allowed to hunt there. Smh.... Now wonder we don't see anything.

Little windy on the ridge this morning. Good luck to those who are out this morning.
